Jades broken

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jades broken (Traditional Chinese: 玉碎集, Pinyin: Yusui Ji) is a collection of Chinese poems by Liu Nan (劉南), published in Hong Kong in 2012.[1] It includes classical Chinese poetry and modern verse.

In Chinese culture, jade is often used as a metaphor of Junzi(ideal person). "Yusui" (Traditional Chinese: 玉碎) is an imagery commonly seen in Chinese and Japanese culture, akin to the allegory of "Vandalism" in western culture.[2]
